There were no misses. Always hit…but just hit :)
5 or 6 times in a row.
Tunisa map, flat. Launch at around 1000m above the ground. Distance - 13-16km. Tank did not move (battlefield zone).

And I’m sure you think it would have been a different result of you had fired AGM-65s… Right…
In opposite team there were 2 players. One did 50+ kills of ground units, the second one did 20+.
I do not recall which weapon was used.
I have heard about problems with mavericks too. But I do not recall the same problem with them I faced.
Also, opposite team in SB EC always outnumbers you at least twice.
Makes you to conclude about the efficacy of different nations in this game.

How many times do we need to say it’s the US equipment and that it doesn’t matter whose coat of paint is on it?

Because the Su-34 is a fat cow of a plane with horrible energy retention and no HMD, while the F-15E is the best plane in the game by such a large margin that it arguably should be 14.3

This is satire, right?
An argument can be made for 14. The plane is head and shoulders above everything else.

Okay so we’re just joking, that’s cool. Let’s get back the correct topic.

Sorry I was generalising I know we want all of our vehicles to perform as close to the real world as possible.
The Su-34 slaps in ground RB…Well it slaps me ha ha
In the game, does the V004 update TWS tracks independently from its search beam or does it behave like a mechanically steered radar? I don’t have the Su-24 so I can’t test fly the Su-34.
Went through a couple vids on YouTube of this thing, at it seems that it does work. Can’t tell for certain, as the scan time is fast anyway (hard to tell if it is updated continuously or not) and there is no indicator of the beam doing quick scans of TWS targets (like on the S1 and Tor).
Does not seem to update targets that are outside of the scan zone, however.
As a side note, does anybody know how roll stabilization of the scan zone works for ESA radars? I am assuming the reason a lot of mechanically steered radars have roll stability limits is because of polarization. Is that true? How do ESA radars deal with that? From what I have seen, a lot of them tend to have their arrays fixed to the airframe.

I don’t see a source to back that statement other than just gaijin’s beliefs

Statement about what?
Radars need dwell time on target to be able to detect it. Speed of light is a constraint, considering how many time a second a radar goes from emitting to detecting. Also, the less time you spend illuminating an area of the sky, the less energy will be reflected back at you, this forces you to slow down.
So. just because a radar can steer its beam really fast, does not mean it will detect everything in the path of its beam. The MiG-29’s radar is capable of moving its antennae at 70°/s. However, it rarely does so, because it has to move the beam slow enough for it to pick up a target. In the manual scan mode, for example, it moves it with 50°/s.
The same thing applies to ESA radars. Just because it can near instantaneously change the position of its beam, does not mean it will pick up every target.
Look up “radar dwell time” for more info.

Okay. Lets imagine PESA radar with 60x20 scan zone, 1.5x1.5 beam and 200km range. We will have 533 “pixels” and add additional 10% for overlaps. We will count beam move as infinetly fast and exclude time for phase shifters.
580 multiplicate by 200/300000(range/speed of light) multiple by 2(2 way) and by 10(radar need to send and receive several echoes). We have got 7.7 seconds. This is the best explanation I can generate.

Ssu-33 datamined
Spoiler
took from rumors&discussion thread
Damn,.was hoping for MiG-29K. Oh well, Su-33 it is. Probably also means J-15 as C&P and hopefully Krechet (Kiev-class according to NATO) missile cruiser-carrier as an AI to support it existence outside of just being a sidegrade of Su-27S

J-15 is not just C&P. It much better in terms of electronics equipment. ARH missiles, AGMs, TGP and etc.
